Complete sequence of the avian pathogenic Escherichia coli strain VTB96933v containing a novel conjugative antimicrobial resistance and virulence IncI1-ST114-ColBM plasmid.
The complete sequence of a South African avian pathogenic Escherichia coli was obtained through short and long read consensus-based assembly. It consists of a 5,120,371 bp chromosome and two plasmids, one of 86,932 and the other of 161,786 bp. The latter is a novel conjugative ColBM plasmid type IncI1-ST114, containing antimicrobial resistance and APEC-associated virulence genes.
